British Army Unit Strengths: 1808-1815
War of 1812

The War of 1812

These sets of returns cover British forces
in North America during the conflict with the United States. Some, but not all,
Canadian units are also included in these listings. They break down into three
sections: Canada, Nova Scotia, and the American Coast. Except in the last case
coverage is from January 1812 to July 1815, to record the build-up of forces as
war began, and their run-down after peace was concluded.

Canada

These are the returns for the main British
forces on the North American continent.
